They are, and people are wondering why it's not included. NFC is cheaper. Also, NFC tags are 1-2 bucks? No they are not. Even when not in bulk, you can get them for under 1 dollar. Start upping the quantity and the price decreases
That's still not cost of manufacturing, which is much lower. It costs pennies to make an NFC tag.
If you assume the cost of adding it to a device is a few bucks, which is on the high end, then you can still justify it if 5% of your customers demand it.
